When I ran in 2018, I had no money. I was outspent 10 to 1. Millions of
dollars were spent against me.

And it’s funny, because the political establishment likes to tell this
story where they say, “Oh, no one saw her coming! They fell asleep at the
wheel!”

That is not true. They tell that story so they look like they didn’t lose.

Ironically, the morning after I won, Andrew Cuomo of all people said that
my existence was a ‘fluke’. That I was here by accident.

And that’s not surprising. I’m used to that, being underestimated.

But what people don’t often see and understand is that you can outwork
that.

It’s not going to happen every single time, but that’s why we need so many
people to do what Zohran Mamdani is doing.

A lot of times people think that being engaged is either electoral or it’s
all activism — but it’s actually the combined power of both of these
things that have prevented autocracies from taking over in other
circumstances.

Because moving politics in the direction of the working class requires the
working class.

And to keep building our people's movement, we are rallying together to
support progressives up and down the ballot who are facing off against
opponents — from both parties — who are handing the keys to our country
over to billionaires and special interests.
